Chapter 268 Lorraine's Grandpa
Seeing the look in their son's expectant and doubtful eyes, Luo Jianrong and Li Hong felt uneasy.
"Xiao Lin, since childhood, how many times have you seen your grandpa?"
Lorraine was taken aback, and said to his heart, how many times have you seen? Have you seen many faces? Later, after the Luos Group had a situation, I was with my grandpa in the capital... Although the whole family was in a dilemma, it was considered reunion...
However, after another thought, Lorraine was stunned.
To be precise, Lorraine’s more impression of his grandfather came from the fact that in the previous life, the Luo Family declared bankruptcy, the Luo family went downhill, and his grandfather was also entrapped by unscrupulous people due to his involvement and retired. There is a saying that the families of the poor are more united. Therefore, after the family has fallen, the family members have become closer.
But before that, Lorraine really hadn't seen Grandpa many times before, and only met after a few years.
That is to say, until his age, I really haven't seen Grandpa a few times. Of course, this doesn't mean that Grandpa doesn't love him, on the contrary, Grandpa almost dotes on him. But that's all for the future. At least, the current Lorraine's love for the grandfather doesn't feel so deep.
Lorraine felt strange when his parents said this.
Yes...when I was a child, and even now, how come I haven't seen my grandpa too many times? Although every time I met since childhood, my grandfather would buy himself a lot of delicious and fun things, but he didn't frequent each other often.
Just as Lorraine was puzzled, Luo Jianrong’s steady voice came with a little helplessness: "Xiao Lin, think about it carefully, every time you meet with grandpa, I will send you to Yanjing with your mother. Grandpa’s military area mansion, and your mother and I both left on the same day. After a few days, Grandpa will send someone to send you back. Do you still have an impression?"
Lorraine thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, then nodded.
However, his brows frowned more tightly, and said in amazement, "Dad, wasn't the company busy at the time? So you must hurry back that day..."
"This is also one of the reasons, but the main reason." Luo Jianrong took a deep breath as he said, "It's still because...your mother married me back then, which is against your grandfather's meaning. Your grandfather is a military area commander. The big man, and the grandfather of your Aunt Qin, are well-known figures in the military districts of the country. When you were the most brilliant in your external justice career, you had a great reputation and had already made an appointment with a big family for your mother... Later, your mother eloped with me from Yanjing City to Jiangnan Province. For this, your grandfather did not offend people in Yanjing. Although no one dared to challenge your grandpa openly, but secretly stumbled Son, it is enough to affect your grandfather's prestige..."
Speaking of this, Luo Jianrong actually took out a cigar and slowly lit it.
Lorraine knew that his father didn't smoke very often, unless it was something very upsetting. It is conceivable that this matter puts a lot of pressure on him.
"I have always felt guilty to your grandpa. Although the Rock Group has grown bigger and bigger with the efforts of your mother and me in the past 20 years, it is not enough.... Although your grandpa doesn't reject me as much as before. , But he has not accepted me at all. Grandpa loves you because you are his grandson..."
Luo Jianrong let out a deep breath of smoke and said slowly.
Li Hong on the side interjected at this time: "Xiao Lin, your grandfather is a bull-tempered, until now, he has never taken the initiative to call us. It was me and your father who took the initiative to greet him, hey...for so many years. It passed, and I don’t know how to communicate with him."
Lorraine suddenly realized this when she heard this.
He said that when he was young, he never saw his grandfather and his parents sitting together and eating a meal together! Even if my grandfather came to Zhengzhou to see his little grandson, he still lived in his uncle Li Baoshan's house... Unexpectedly, parents still have such a history.
But these things, in Lorraine's view, are nothing at all.
It’s not hard to tell from the words of my parents that my grandfather wanted to take care of the marital affairs for his mother, but my mother disagreed and eloped with my dad to pursue a free marriage, and then he had such a small child. Prodigal son.
Haha, this kind of old-fashioned story actually happened around me, and I was the final "product" of this poignant story...
"Haha, I understand." Lorraine heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Parents, your tone of voice just now really scared me. I thought there was something big, it turned out to be such a thing. Er... Hey, according to my opinion, grandpa is a big boobs, a high spirit, and a good face. If he really doesn't recognize your parents, how can he entrust Aunt Qin to our house? And it's impossible. Do you love me? Although I don't meet many times, I know that Grandpa loves me very much."
Lorraine’s words were correct. In his impression, his grandfather was a standard hard-bone soldier, not a little bit stiff, and his style was vigorous and resolute. He still feels the roughness of grandfather’s calloused hands touching his small face. , Still fresh in memory.
Li Hong sighed lightly at this time, and said helplessly: "Xiao Lin, you are right. In this era, this kind of thing is nothing, and it will not turn father and daughter back. But so many years have passed... …Your grandpa didn’t make a clear statement, and at that time your grandpa said that he wanted to run a relationship for your father in Jiangnan Province and let him go for an official career, but he was unwilling to do so, but he also made your grandpa very angry. The important point is that your grandfather doesn't like businessmen. He always said that businessmen are speculative little clever traders who can't be on the stage. This is why my father and I did not seek your grandfather's help after coming to Yanjing. One reason. Because when I was in business with your father, he strongly opposed it."
Hearing this, Lorraine didn't understand the truth, and then nodded helplessly: "Then there is no way, grandpa's temper is very stubborn... However, who is the world's parents who don't care for their children? Otherwise, I will ask Grandpa for help? Look at him..."
"Xiaolin, in fact, there is another reason." Mother Li Hong waved her hand at this time and interrupted Lorraine. "The marriage that your grandfather arranged for me back then was a deeply rooted local merchant in Yanjing City. The faction is very powerful. In fact, only a businessman of that level can be able to get your grandfather’s eyesight.... But because your father and I eloped and got married, your grandfather offended the family, and there has been no reconciliation until now. The way, the other party doesn’t buy your grandpa’s account at all now. Therefore, even if your grandpa is willing to help, some people in the mall will not dare to accept this favor because of the face of that local big merchant.——So If our company wants to develop in the most stable manner in Yanjing City, it is still better not to let people in the industry know the existence of your grandpa relationship, otherwise it will encounter some unexpected resistance. So, do you understand Xiaolin?"
Understand, of course...
Lorraine sighed silently in his heart. There was a mixture of dragons and snakes in the capital. At any rate, Grandpa was also a leader-level figure of a certain military area in Yanjing, and he would also be constrained by some big family forces. From a certain point of view, military figures are very It's awesome, but it's not even a family.
If it is a big family with deep roots in Yanjing City, then in this family, soldiers, businessmen, and officials must have blossomed everywhere. In other words, the connections are smooth everywhere, and three or four generations have developed. , Coupled with the concerted efforts of the whole family, it is naturally enough to stand out from the crowd.
It is estimated that the four giants in Beijing are of this level.
Lorraine now has a further understanding of the dragons and snakes in the capital. Seeing that his parents are a little frown at this time, he, as a son, has an obligation to let his parents relax.
So, he walked forward slowly, filled the tea cup in front of his parents, and then patted his chest and said: "Okay, parents, you are thinking about these old things, you are in a bad mood. It will affect your health. Your health is not good. My son will be in a bad mood. If I am in a bad mood, my health will also be bad. By then, our family of three will be in poor health. How do you take care of your parents?" As he said, Lorraine grinned, very pleasing.
"Smelly boy, when did you learn to talk like this?" Li Hong was taken aback for a while, then went up and patted his son's head lightly, and said with a smile. I feel much better.
Luo Jianrong and Li Hong, as parents, are often busy in the field and rarely have time to spend time with their son. They are surprise after surprise for Lorraine's recent growth. They had already learned about Lorraine's talents in business, but they didn't expect that their son was still a boy who could talk like this, which was surprising.
In my impression, although the child Lorraine talks a lot, but they are all purely annoying words, this flowery mouth can actually say so slippery.
Luo Jianrong was also delighted by Lorraine's words, waved his hand, and returned to the topic: "Xiao Lin, you have time to go to Grandpa to see him."
"Well, don't worry about my parents, I remember." Lorraine nodded and said with a serious expression, "Then... now is there a better way for parents to do?-I mean our Luoshi Group, next What kind of project should I manage? This is not connected, and the real estate development project will undoubtedly be abandoned."
"Yes..." Luo Jianrong put down the cigar in his hand and squinted his eyes slightly. "It seems that we still have to continue to operate the most professional leisure and entertainment industry... Before we thought of a better development plan, this It can be considered a stopgap..."
However, when Luo Jianrong just dropped the words, Lorraine's brows suddenly raised, and the light flashed in his mind, and he snapped his fingers and said with joy: "Dad, I have a feasible plan here!"
